C- 2010 -089 PAR Part 1 <br />New Horizon North Mine <br />23- Dec -2010 <br />Page 8 of 21 <br />7. In the second paragraph of the Grazingland section on page 4 of section 2.03.4, the previous <br />name of the DRMS is given as the "Division of Mining and Reclamation ". Please revise the <br />text to read, "Division of Minerals and Geology ". <br />On Map 2.04.3 -1 the legend, grazing land and pastureland, does not agree with text <br />description in the PAP section 2.04.3 pp. 4 -6, "PL -rec" versus "GL -rec" etc. Please bring <br />map and text definitions into agreement with one another. <br />9. The permit boundary shown on Map 2.04.3 -1 incorporates portions of the surrounding <br />county roads. Please refer to Section 2.03, above, for the Division's comments regarding <br />the permit boundary for the NHN Mine. <br />10. The NH1 Mine boundary, as depicted on Map 2.04.3 -1, does not correlate with the boundary <br />described in the New Horizon Mine permit. The acreage shown here is 103.42 acres, while <br />the true acreage is 98.6 acres. Please review this discrepancy, and ensure that the limits of <br />the NH1 Mine as depicted in the NHN application reflect the true boundary described in <br />permit C- 1981 -008. <br />11. On Map 2.04.3 -1, an extraneous, orange "Existing Property Line" runs E -W through the <br />Garvey property. Please delete this line. <br />12. At the end of section 2.04.3, WFC has provided several paragraphs describing Previously <br />Mined Lands. Please provide a graphical presentation of this information on the map <br />required by Rule 2.10.2 and reference this map in the narrative. (It may make sense to move <br />this discussion to the introductory section of 2.04.3.) <br />2.04.4 — Cultural and Historic Resource Information <br />1. The Colorado Historical Society has reviewed the information provided with New Horizon <br />North application. Ina letter received by the Division on November 19, 2010 (attached), the <br />State Historic Preservation Officer concludes that a finding of no historic properties <br />affected is appropriate for the proposed activities. However, the letter also states, "Should <br />unidentified archaeological resources be discovered in the course of the project, work must <br />be interrupted until the resources have been evaluated in terms of the National register of <br />Historic Places eligibility criteria (36 CFR 60.4) in consultation with our office." Please <br />include this commitment in the narrative of this section. <br />2. In the Introduction to 2.04.4, the date of PCC's Nucla Mine application is given as April, <br />1980 and date is issuance is listed as May, 1993. Division records show that the application <br />was received in January, 1981. The permit was issued in May, 1983. Please revise the text <br />to give corrected dates for the application and issuance of Permit No. C- 008 -81, and include <br />a reference to the detailed history provided in section 2.04.3. <br />The second paragraph describing the 1979 survey states, "Site 5MN1257 has almost totally <br />been destroyed by previous mining disturbance, with nearly all of the site being disturbed." <br />This statement is at odds with language contained within the study, which says the site "has <br />also been impacted by ground disturbance from road construction, ranching and farming <br />activities" and that a portion of the site "has received less disturbance than much of the <br />surrounding area." Please review the text provided in the application and revise as <br />appropriate to remove contradictory statements. <br />
